active

2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific Pty Ltd

Recall date: 15 December 2020

Defect

The mounting nuts of the control unit box in the engine compartment may not meet the torque specification. If these mounting nuts become loose, the control unit box may move, resulting in electrical connectors separating.

Hazard

If these connectors separate, it could result in the engine cutting out, as well as a failure of the power steering, ESP or the Active Brake Assist. This would increase the risk of an accident, causing death or injury to the vehicle occupants and/or other road users.

Consumers are asked to contact their most convenient Mercedes-Benz Retailer for a free of charge inspection and repair if required. To find a local Mercedes-Benz retailer, visit https://www.mercedes-benz.com.au/passengercars/mercedes-benz-cars/dealer-locator.html
